Chapter 813 Victory belongs to the team
After Chen Badminton scored, there was only one minute left in stoppage time. The probability of Aston Villa's goal was less than one percent. Aston Villa's players did not give up and continued to attack, hoping to create a miracle. However, after their last cross was resolved by Liverpool's defenders, the referee Haiersi finally blew the whistle to the end of the game.
Hearing the "compression", many Aston Villa's players squatted or sat on the grass, like empty pockets, with disappointment and helplessness on their faces. Goalkeeper Taylor hit the post hard, not knowing whether he was angry with himself or the goal.
The Liverpool players on the court and the Liverpool fans in the stands were very excited. It was beyond their expectations that the opponent's often defeated generals were so difficult. This victory was almost like a pick-up. Everyone felt like they were escaping from death, so the joy of victory was even greater.
Benitez walked towards O'Neal and stretched out his hand from afar, but he was not ready to say anything. The winner would be cruel to say anything to the loser. Benitez was not a cruel person.
O'Neal was very generous and did not express the depression of failure. When he shook hands with Benitez, he congratulated Benitez, "Congratulations, you played very well, and victory is a reward for you."
Benitez smiled and said, "Thank you, you played well, but you were a little bit lucky."
O'Neal shrugged and said, "No, we're missing a Chen."
O'Neal's words were envious, sour, and a little dissatisfied. However, Benitez didn't say much, just smiled and left.
The players at Aston Villa were very disappointed and stood there for a while before leaving the court. A reporter tried to interview Aston Villa at the mixing channel, but no one was willing to accept the interview. Captain Barry even rudely pushed the reporter and staggered.
Most reporters surrounded Chen Yu as usual. Chen Yu won the game and scored the goal. He was in a good mood. Of course, he would not make things difficult for the reporter and accepted the reporter's interview enthusiastically.
What the reporters are most concerned about after the game is Chen Yu's long shot in the end, which is also a magical shot that directly determines the outcome of a game.
Regarding this shot, Chen Yu explained: "It can also be said that it was a shot I had planned for a long time, but it was a lucky opportunity to score this shot. The situation was already very tense, and the time was already the last minute of stoppage time. It was impossible to make any complicated cooperation, so I decided to shoot by myself. Of course, if a teammate is in a better position, I will pass the ball."
When the reporter asked, "If you were asked to shoot another shot now, how sure would you be to score?"
Chen Yu replied: "It is actually impossible to play so accurately again, and the timing of kicking is different, and the results will not be the same. The goalkeeper's condition is also one of the keys to whether to score or not. If it were not Taylor who was already lazy in the back, but Taylor who was brave in the front, it would be hard to say that this goal could not be scored. I think this goal is more like God's reward for us for 92 minutes."
Chen Yu said that he was very satisfied with his performance in this game. Although his condition was not at his best, he seized both key opportunities, which was also the key to the team's victory. At the same time, Chen Yu also believed that if the team did not have the 90-minute hard battle, and his final victory would not be the team.
Some reporters also asked Chen Yu to talk about his views on his opponent Aston Villa. Chen Yu said: "Aston Villa is a very good team. They have some excellent players, very fast and very good skills, which has caused us a lot of trouble. If we weren't for our better luck, maybe the score of 0:0 would be the fairest."
Chen Yu also expressed his praise for Aston Villa coach O'Neal through the mouth of a reporter. He said: "O'Neal is a very excellent coach. The tactical style he formulated, the formation he arranged, and the morale of the team are all very outstanding. In time, I believe he will become a great coach like Benitez, Mourinho and Ferguson, and even join the giants."
The reporter's favorite thing is to raise trouble. He immediately asked Chen Yu whether he would like to play football under a coach like O'Neal. Chen Yu also answered very smartly. He said: "I am now working under the best coach in the world and have no other plans yet."
In addition to Chen Yu, Liverpool captain Gerald, new players Babel and Worrenin were also interviewed.
Gerald was very moved and said that this was the most thrilling and exciting opening game he had ever played. This game broke the vicious circle of the Reds' unbeatable start in the past three years, and it was of great help to the team's morale and confidence. With such a start, he believed that Liverpool's condition would get better and better, and he was full of confidence in the team's defending title.
The newcomer should be much more cautious when speaking. Worenin was not satisfied with his performance and scored 60 points for his performance. However, Worenin believes that he has not fully adapted to the environment, otherwise he should be able to provide more help to the team.
Wollening and Babel flattered the team bosses such as Chen Yu and Gerald, because Gerald's performance was not eye-catching enough, and the two mainly mentioned Chen Yu.
Babel believes that Chen Yu is the most powerful player he has ever seen and played with. He believes that Chen Yu was elected as a World Footballer and the European Golden Ball Award this year, there is no suspense at all. Whether in terms of football skills, fame, influence and performance, Chen Yu is definitely the world's number one person until now.
Worrening is also a forward. He told reporters that he had never seen such a comprehensive striker. He believed that even if Chen Yu played in the midfield and defender, he could still become the best in the world. He praised Chen Yu's last shot in the shooting. Worrening believed that Chen Yu's shot was the right choice at that time. "No one could stand up at that time. At that time, everyone was not calm. Chen Yu had to be more selfish because he had that strength."
In fact, not only were the players interviewed admired Chen Yu and provoked Chen Yu, but all Liverpool players, whether they were substitutes or main players, admired Chen Yu and were grateful, especially those players who had wasted the chance to score goals. They all regarded Chen Yu as the savior. If Chen Yu had not won the final moments of Chen Yu's final victory, they would definitely become the target of media criticism after the game and the target for fans to vent their anger.
Back in the locker room, Benitez led all the coaching staff to welcome the players who returned from victory. Benitez hugged Chen Yu tightly, patted his back, and said, "You saved the team. Without you, my reputation for starting a bad start will continue to spread again."
Chen Yu hurriedly said: "This is not all my credit. Without the unremitting efforts and continuous pressure on our opponents, I would not have been able to attack so easily."
Benitez was very happy to hear this, thinking that others say that Chinese people are hypocritical, but it may not seem that they are. Chen Yu's words are very real and reasonable. He smiled and said, "No matter how big our advantage is in the scene, no matter how perfect the tactical arrangement is, if we cannot win and get three points in the end, then this game is a failure and it is meaningless."
Chen Yu smiled and said, "I just solved the goal problem. If I can't score, why do you buy me for?"
Benitez smiled and said, "Yes, you are the fastest knife in Liverpool, but your yellow card suffers a loss. You must be calm when celebrating in the future. Don't take yellow cards easily. You are my absolute main force."
Chen Yu nodded and said yes, but he didn't agree, because it was already the end of the day, otherwise he wouldn't have celebrated that way.
In the locker room, Benitez, who has always been blamed for everything, praised every player. Even Wallenen, who had no performance after playing, made a mistake and gave his opponent a penalty kick, received his praise, and also opened champagne with the players to celebrate. Obviously, it has become Benitez's heart disease for not winning the opening game in three years. Now, the heart disease has finally been relieved.
After celebrating with the players, Benitez brought Chen Yu to the post-match press conference.
At the press conference, O'Neal faced the failure calmly, "I think we played well, but they are very strong, experienced, and have a strong psychological advantage for us. They quickly gained the upper hand and put a lot of pressure on us. I am very happy that we did not concede the ball before the end of the half. After they scored in the second half, we still gained the upper hand for a while, and equalized the score in 85 minutes. I thought the game would end with a draw. Although I really wanted to win Liverpool and break the vicious circle of defeat against Liverpool, then it was the embodiment of Chen Yu's personal ability. If there was no Chen, to be fair, a draw would be understandable. Although we lost the game, we did not have confidence in losing. I believe that we will play better and better in the future, and the goal we set to attack the European game will not change."
O'Neal was very calm, Benitez was very moved. When summarizing the game, he said: "Leader, tie, penalty kick, world wave, final kill, from the perspective of the fans, this is a very perfect game, but for a coach, it means that the game has lost control, and we finally won the game with the help of the players' personal abilities. However, we deserve this victory. The boy played well, but the opponent's goalkeeper Taylor was brave, so we failed to lock in the victory early... This is the first time I have won the opening game since I took over Liverpool, and it is also the first time Liverpool has won the opening game in five years. This is a good start. I believe that with such a good start, we will definitely play better in the next game."
Because O'Neal is not a paranoid like Mourinho, the press conference was calm, everyone briefly summarized the game, answered several questions from reporters and ended.
